Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing the laces with a material that offers more grip.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Verify you have the correct size and fit. The dual-density midsole may require a break-in period. Ensure socks provide adequate cushioning.
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid wearing in wet conditions.
Fading of colors.
